If you are just starting your research, you may need to develop your topic further. Ask yourself:
As you consider these questions, take a look at a few of our reference resources for general, background information about your topic. The information you find in these resources will help you determine what you need to know, what search terms or keywords to use, and what, exactly, it is that you hope to discover through your research.
Welcome to the Gerontology Research Guide. Finding appropriate research materials can be difficult in an area as interdisciplinary as Gerontology; this site brings together a variety of resources available at Viterbo Library and online in order to facilitate your research. You will also find how-to tutorials to guide you through your research and databases we suggest you use to find academic journal articles and information. Note the different tabs at the top of the page. Click on the appropriate tab for more information.
If you are still developing your topic, consider finding inspiration in the resources provided in the "Need to develop your idea?" box.
Click the "How do I...?" tab at the top to access general how-to handouts and videos to help you research at the Viterbo University library.
Schedule an appointment to work with a librarian one-on-one. You have the choice of scheduling a face-to-face, telephone or virtual consultation.
If you're off-campus, you may be prompted to enter your Viterbo username and password before accessing a database. Don’t include @viterbo.edu in the username.
The world is at your fingertips. If you can't find something that you need in our collection, we'll request it from another library for you.
